This required installing OSX developer tools, a hoop too far for easy deployment on that platform. In the past I proposed offering prebuilt Sugar VMs (with language/keyboard set for example) for Oracle VirtualBox, which has a little-known licensing advantage: runtime installer distribution for educational purposes. VirtualBox means a teacher or parent could set Sugar in fullscreen yet return to their usual environment with a click. The (enormous) downside of that solution is the massive size of a VM, and maintaining a matrix of prebuilt VMs would be a lot of thankless work. My idea had been to approach Oracle about helping with that. Sean
